"Nothing before had ever made me thoroughly realise, though I had read various scientific books, that science consists in grouping facts so that general laws or conclusions may be drawn from them." "All theoretical chemistry is really physics; and all theoretical chemists know it." "If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?" "Astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another."
